- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City intends to issue a sole source purchase order to Sea-Bird Electronics (SBE) Incorporated, 1808 136th Place NE, Bellevue, Washington for the acquisition of six (6) SBE 19-plus Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (CTD) Optics-Ready Profilers (NAVOCEANO configuration). The CTD systems being acquired are urgently needed to support mission essential operations aboard Navy military helicopters and ships supporting Mine Warfare (MIW) operations. Because optical mine hunting systems are migrating to the fleet, the U. S. Navy has an immediate need to increase their optics/CTD sensor package deployments on military platforms. These sensors provide data in support of other sensors used for oceanography, hydrography, ASW, home land security, MIW, Naval Special Warfare, and many other mission related tasks. This requirement is not suitable for full and open competition for the following reasons: (1) Sea-Bird is the only provider of a CTD that meets all of the U.S. Navy requirements; (2) Any changes to these requirements would adversely impact the mission of NAVOCEANO and our support to the MIW community; (3) The U.S. Navy has an enormous inventory of the same/similar Sea Bird sensors being purchased in this contract. Changing vendors or instrumentation would call for a significant increase in funding to re-engineer current CTD/optics systems and which would also require additional maintenance dollars and training programs to ensure data collection and database population; (4) Sea-Bird has the required expertise to provide necessary calibrations and repairs to these commercially off the shelf (COTS) units; (5) Staying with COTS available instrumentation provides the greatest financial benefit for the government. The Request for Quote number is N61331-08-T-8010. The expected award date will be on or around 8 May 2008. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is 334519 and the small business size standard is 500 employees. The resultant contract shall be a firm-fixed price purchase order.
